It’s to make it a properly defensible location. You can’t just drive a boat up to the beach when the nation’s occupants want to shoot Americans, even the ones helping them. That is how you get dead Americans, a damaged boat, and no aid actually flowing.
I very much don’t think anybody will be shooting the people giving them food. I know Western people think of Hamas as like ISIS and Al Qaeda (both of which I would also assume wouldn’t do this but for argument’s sake), but their ideologies are too different.
The US military doesn’t need a fucking pier.
Pull up a LHD and you could be driving them straight on the beach with the hover craft or setting them gently on the ground with helicopters.
We do this shit all the time.
Zero reason to be dropping from cargo planes or building a pier that’s only going to be able to handle small boats anyways
I don’t understand this at all. Why are they building a pier instead of dropping off by boat?
What is the shitty excuse for taking two extra months?

I mean I’ve only heard of one party in this conflict shooting at aide bringers, and it wasn’t people from Palestine.

I think their implication was that the IDF would shoot the US ships for trying to feed Palestinians.
I was gonna say that’s impossible, then remembered USS Liberty.
